Hello friends and family ...

I made it home!

Just wanted to post a quick update to let you know (sorry for not posting it sooner!) I'm pretty wiped out from my 4 plane changes, 3 time-zone changes, and 40 hours of travel time (alone with all my stuff- yikes!) - so I'm just taking a few days to rest and to try to re-adjust to this time zone and being back in America...

Then it will be blogs and videos and pictures for sure (and beginning to speak and sing for groups around the US)! So stay tuned!

In the meantime, I would ask you to please continue considering the requests I mentioned in my last blog:

1- I need opportunities to speak around the US.
These would be opportunities to raise my support, to find sponsors for
the orphans, to raise awareness about caring for orphans around the
world, and to share my mission experiences from Africa and India. This
can be for churches, church groups, youth groups, mission groups, civic
organizations, or just for a house full of friends! If you know of a
group that would be interested in having me speak, would you please Contact Me with the details?

2- I am still in need of financial supporters.
Would you please pray about partnering with me to care for
orphans? Without your support, I will be unable to
continue the mission work God has called me to. Would you consider
supporting me monthly, with a gift of $25, $50, or more if you are
able? One time gifts are also greatly appreciated! Just click here: Support Me!

As I readjust, I'll be sorting through several hundred emails and getting back in touch with those of you who have contacted me while I was gone. Thank you so much for your patience, and for all your incredible support and encouragement! Each and every one of you is a blessing in my life! I'm so thankful for you!

In HIS hands,
Ericka <><

ps- To my amazing prayer warriors -- if you're looking for something to pray for, I will ask you to please lift up my friend Shelley and her dad. They recently found out he has colon cancer, and will be going through major surgery tomorrow at 8am. They definitely need your prayers and encouragement - I'll be visiting her for a couple of days so if you'd like to write an encouraging comment here feel free! I'd be glad to share it with her!
